Romero’s double transfer move: Hermoso until 2027, Malen for €25 million. Who’s next?
The club has completed two key personnel transactions on the same day, clearly defining the direction of its squad development. Defender Mario Hermoso officially extended his contract with Juventus until June 2027. This Spanish defender, who consistently plays a key role in the defense, has received long-term guarantees, thereby eliminating any uncertainties regarding one of the team’s key players.
Meanwhile, Roma acquired Donnel Malen from Aston Villa for €25 million. The Dutch forward will join Roma permanently after a successful loan period. His explosive speed, ability to play without the ball, and experience in top leagues will greatly enhance Roma’s attacking options.
The next priority for the club’s management will be negotiations with Paulo Dybala’s agent. The Argentine playmaker remains a symbol of the club’s sports project, and the club aims to quickly agree on financial and sporting terms for his new contract. Roma’s transfer window is closing in a constructive manner. These transactions lay a solid foundation for Roma’s efforts to compete for top positions in the new season.
